i’m trying to make a menu for my game and i couldn’t figure out this problem.
my options menu;
when i don’t set focus on event tick, Q E and ESC keys doesn’t work so i set focus on event tick, but when i use set focus; dropdown it doesn’t open. what can i do and how can i get these both to work?
There should never be a need to set focus on Tick.
thanks for answer, i know but otherwise it doesn’t work so i had to set on event tick
level blueprint;
i’m using on key down for Q,E and ESC inputs (in Display Widget)
and all widgets is focusable = true
here is the code for how can i open options widget (in MainMenu Widget);
if is important i’m using WidgetSwitcher for change option sub widget like display, graphics and audio
This seems OK at a glance. Not sure what happens to your focus. Could you tell a bit more about the hierarchy and the switcher? How does it all work / is organised - the big picture. What does the switcher call really do?
Does this mean that every widget handles its own input? Sounds complicated to do it like so:
I see you also remove self here:
Trying to wrap my mind around the way you structured it.
The usual approach is to have a master widget with a switcher and handle all input in this one widget only:
You’d dispatch back to the master from the user widgets. There would never be a need to add / remove any widgets. Focus switching can be added but may not be necessary.
uh sorry i forgot to mention my hierarchy
WB_Main
here is the what Options Button do;
WB_OptionsMenu;
on key down inside WB_OptionsMenu widget.
only WB_OptionsMenu widget have WidgetSwitcher
i’m not sure if it’s clear
Much clearer!
Can we see this? Perhaps the widget we switch to somehow gets the focus? Try adding
After the abovementioned calls.
Have you tried the Widget Reflector? You can easily tell (most of the time) where the focus has gone to:
It’s here:
Make it full screen on another screen (or suffer on one):
Run the project, mouse over stuff, see how things behave.
“Change Widget Switcher Index” is little mess but only do add current widget switcher index to input value and set Active Widget index * i’m planing to fix later
Did you try adding Set Keyboard Focus (self) here?
Just to clarify: are your widgets actually switching?
Are we sure something like that does not run elsewhere and steals focus?
nope this code only in WB_OptionsMenu Widget
when i’m delete this or put in Event Construct (only) inputs doesn’t work (buttons works perfectly) but dropdown menu works perfectly
and yes set focus on event tick widgets are switching
